Welcome To St. Nicholas Cathedral

The history of the Cathedral located in Los Angeles, California, is truly a story of people of vision, courage, dedication, leadership and religious conviction. It is the story of the needs of many Orthodox families who had settled in the greater Los Angeles area since the turn of the twentieth century. It is a story of those who had devoted their lives to the service of our community, of leaders who are no longer with us but who shall always remain dear in our hearts because of their wisdom, love and accomplishments. Their legacy continues today.

Thursdays, 7:00 to 8:30 pm

Learn a Language by the Inductive Method, Like How Children Learn to Speak 
In-person – Starting Sep. 10

  • New Testament Greek: Bringing the Gospel of John to Life in the Original Language. 

    It has been said, "You cannot interpret the Bible or make theology on the basis of a translation." While it's ok to read for content and inspiration in whatever language you know best, you need to use the original language to understand more completely. This is the original language of the New Testament, of parts of the Old Testament, of the Liturgy and the vast majority of our Church Fathers. It is NOT modern Greek.

 

  • Liturgical Arabic: Learn Arabic through the Liturgy.

    This course will introduce students to Arabic through the prayers, hymns, and responses of the Orthodox Church. Designed to accommodate both complete beginners and those seeking to build upon existing familiarity, students will learn to read Arabic script and participate in selected prayers and hymns in Arabic.

Today's Scripture Readings
ST. PAUL'S FIRST LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS 15:58; 16:1-3
Brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come. And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
LUKE 5:27-32
At that time, as Jesus passed by, he saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he left everything, and rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there was a large company of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them. And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Today's Thought

"Not trusting in yourself and not acting according to your own will and understanding is the path to humility. Without this, even though we may do good, it is not pleasing to God." -- St. Macarius of Optina
